Marko denies rumors of Red Bull ousting

These tensions reportedly began after the management reshuffle following Dietrich Mateschitz's passing last year. Marko, contracted to Red Bull GmbH, refuted the rumors, asserting he decides when to leave, not Horner. He also denied reports of an ultimatum to Sergio Perez and praised Max Verstappen's exceptional performance in Formula 1.

Haas unveils 'Stars & Stripes' themed livery for US GP

Haas, the sole American Formula One team, will introduce a heavily revised F1 car with a special 'Stars & Stripes' livery at the United States Grand Prix.

Despite a restrained development program earlier in the season, they are now introducing extensive updates primarily focused on aerodynamics. This upgrade will involve substantial changes to the car's bodywork and aims to enhance aerodynamic consistency, providing crucial data for their 2024 entry. Additionally, the cars will feature the 'We The People' tagline and the Starlight Children's Foundation's yellow star on the rear wing as part of ongoing charity initiatives.

Sainz, who claimed to have an excellent pancake recipe, detailed the entire process and shockingly admitted that he enjoys his pancakes plain.

Why drivers use unusual racing lines

There is a mathematically ideal racing line, or perhaps more accurately, a precise path through a corner that allows racing drivers to maintain the highest speed possible while negotiating the turn. It's the widest path for maximum speed. But why do drivers often neglect this? Even if they are at the top of their game, why don't they consistently follow the geometrically perfect racing line?
